The Week #99
by James- This week marked over 1 week in London. We accomplished the main goal of the trip last week – and we didn't even bring down production 🎉. I knew we would meet the goal without any issues, but it was huge relief because sometimes you "know" something then an unknown unknown crops up and you're left scrambling.
- One of the recurring thoughts I have about London is just how diverse it is. Going down the street there's people speaking every language of every ethnicity, you name it. Compared with Tokyo, even pre-Covid, it's nowhere near as diverse. ( I mean, Japan is kinda know for being quite insular, so it shouldn't be a surprise). I must say I'm really enjoying the easy access to meat wrapped in some kind of flat bread with veg and sauce. Sometimes I want an onigiri...but I'd usually rather have a falafel.
- At the Tate this weekend I saw the tower of incomprehension, a tower of old and new radios, all tuned to a different frequency playing at the same time. No two visits are ever the same. I uploaded a short video on YouTube. It made me think of the media and social media and how there's so much coming at you...you can't understand a thing. It all gets jumbled together and is just noise. And when I compare that to my blog, where I get a webmention here or an email there, how much of a calmer experience it is....and yet we still post and add to the noise.
- Coming up on 100 weeks doing the week and I find myself questioning if I'll continue after I hit 100. Part of me thinks, yes I should continue writing these weekly roundups because they give me an opportunity to reflect on the week every week. The other part of me has been having trouble writing posts...remembering at the last minute and rushing something out. I guess I must continue until week #104, so I hit 2 years.
